What is the Architecturally Modular trend?
Architecturally Modular: Architects are creating modular building design concepts that are able to accommodate the needs of the people they're building for, as well as the landscapes that surround them. These concepts have risen out of a need for building cities that are as architecturally functional as they are beautiful.

Adaptability, safety, green space and transportation are all key aspects of living comfortably in such population-dense environments, and urban planning initiatives are increasingly working to achieve those qualifications for city residents.
